Big Georgia Receiver Talks Favorites

<b>Anthony "A.T." Barnes </b> is a big wide receiver prospect from Cartersville that is looking at several schools across the south.

The state of Georgia has an abundance of big wide receivers this year, and
Anthony Barnes of Cartersville is one of the best in the south. At 6-3 and 210
pounds, Barnes has the ability to out muscle corners and the speed to out run
most of his competition.

Barnes not only played wide receiver, but he was a standout at free safety, and
he logged some time at quarterback last season as well. He is a big athlete that
can play a lot of different positions, but wide receiver is his first love.

"I'd play defense if I had too," said Barnes, "but I really like
offense."

"A.T." is going to have several options in front of him come next
February. Who are some of the teams he is most interested in?

North Carolina - "I like the basketball team, and they have a great
environment."
Miami - "They're always playing for championships."
Florida State - "They get good press; everyone is always talking about
Florida State."
Georgia - "Everyone around here loves Georgia."
Auburn - "That's where Ronnie Brown plays."

Barnes is a basketball player that seems to like hoops even better than
football, but his future is on the gridiron. He is one of the Peach State's
best, and he is a player to keep an eye on this fall.
